Ham is a staple at the sugar shack, but it certainly begs to be revamped. Give it a strong aromatic base with fresh ginger, garlic, hot pepper and soy sauce. You can cook it fast in the pressure cooker or slower in the slow cooker for more tender meat. Serve it as is or in a sandwich. We've certainly come a long way from the traditional braised ham with boiled potatoes.

Preparation

Note from Ricardo

The ham can be prepared in a slow cooker. To do so, soften the aromatics in a skillet, then transfer into the slow cooker with the remaining ingredients. Cover and cook over High heat for 5 hours. If possible, turn the ham over halfway through cooking.

For both cooking methods, the recipe can be doubled by cooking 2 hams, about 1 ⅔ lb (750 g) each, but without changing the quantity of the other ingredients or the cooking time.
